Content</span></b></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Myriad Pro","sans-serif"'>At
the heart of the Postgraduate Diploma in Management Studies, subjects such as
strategy development, leadership and change, supported by individual choices
for either specialisation or preparation for advancement to the Masters stage
of the MA, provide real challenges for the manager of the future.</span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Myriad Pro","sans-serif"'>&nbsp;</span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Myriad Pro","sans-serif"'>Participants
will be encouraged to demonstrate the ability to generate practical solutions,
and exercise managerial and ethical judgement, for increasingly complex and
integrated market-led scenarios.</span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Myriad Pro","sans-serif"'>Participants
can progress from this Postgraduate Diploma to the Masters stage.</span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Myriad Pro","sans-serif"'>&nbsp;</span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Myriad Pro","sans-serif"'>The
course is most likely to suit people who have a minimum of two-three years'
management-related experience, ideally at the middle management level.
Typically, course participants are able to draw from their real-world
experience to be able to tackle a range of current work-related problems and
investigations, and to develop new ideas, concepts and models as aids to
problem solving and performance improvement.</span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Myriad Pro","sans-serif"'>&nbsp;</span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Myriad Pro","sans-serif"'>The
course focuses on the functional and strategic aspects of general management
and their integration, building on modules delivered at the certificate stage.
A key integrative theme of the programme for both public and private sector
participants is business planning and finance. As with the certificate-level
programme, participants are encouraged to demonstrate the ability to generate
real practical solutions to work-related issues, and to exercise managerial and
ethical judgement in increasingly complex and integrated scenarios.</span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Myriad Pro","sans-serif"'>&nbsp;</span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Myriad Pro","sans-serif"'>A
variety of contemporary learning and teaching strategies are used that involve
you in current management problems and issues. Learning from and through
real-life case studies is used to build on your own experiences, as well as to
broaden horizons as to the role and function of a general manager operating
within an organisational context.</span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Myriad Pro","sans-serif"'>&nbsp;</span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Myriad Pro","sans-serif"'>Proactive
teaching strategies enable you to think critically about real-world management
problems and to develop strategies for more complex problems encountered at
more senior managerial levels.</span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Myriad Pro","sans-serif"'>&nbsp;</span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Myriad Pro","sans-serif"'>The
course enables you to build up a body of practical and theoretical/best
practice knowledge with respect to general management which can be applied to
your own professional practice and development. Furthermore, the philosophy of
the programme, which is embedded within a reflective practitioner model, both
supports and encourages the transfer of learning back to the organisational
context. As such, DMS-level study is a vehicle for personal development and
future career progression as well as preparation for masters-level study. </span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Myriad Pro","sans-serif"'>&nbsp;</span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Myriad Pro","sans-serif"'>The
course has been specifically designed to enable you to integrate diploma-level
study into your working life while remaining a productive and contributing
member of a management team. You are able to apply your learning directly to a
range of work-based situations and contexts potentially adding significant
value to the organisation with respect to its mission and purpose, and more
importantly with respect to making a stronger and more visible contribution to
performance-related business development.</span></p>
